One of the most beautiful sights to behold is that of waterfronts and canals. From the Canals in Venice, Italy to the rivers in some of our villages, they always make us feel good when we see them.

However, same thing can’t be said about these waterways Autojosh.com spotted in Yaba area of Lagos. These pictures were specifically taken in Makoko-Iwaya area in Yaba. This is a low-income community where a large number of the residents live on water. Very dirty water!

Makoko is made up of 6 separated villages. They are all spread across land and water. These villages are Oko Agbon, Adogbo, Migbewhe, Yanshiwhe, Sogunro and Apollo. The first four are the floating communities, known as Makoko waterfront; the rest are based on land.


A third of the shelters in Makoko is built on stilts along the lagoon and the rest is on the land.

This waterfront part of the community is largely harboured by the Egun people who migrated from Badagry and Republic of Benin and whose main occupation is fishing

Makoko has a population estimated to be 250,000.

Residents there commute within and around the community via small fishing boats. For instance, these, boats will charge N50 – N100 to haul you around the community while you suffocate in the stench coming from down below.

According to the World Bank, Makoko is one of the 9 major slums in Lagos state.

The other slums are Agege, Ajegunle, Amokoko, Badia, Iwaya, Ilaje, Bariga, Ijeshatedo -Itire.

Makoko is in Yaba Local Government area of Lago state.

The Executive Chairman of Yaba Local Government Area is Omiyale Kayode Adejare.

Akinwunmi Ambode is the governor of Lagos state.

Have you ever taken a ride through this dirty canal? Tell us in the comment section and don’t forget to share till this gets to the appropriate authorities.

Justice Oladimeji said the constitution only stipulated that the candidate must be educated up to secondary school level and that the plaintiff also admitted that the Senator attended Ede Grammar School.
The judge struck out the case saying that whether Adeleke obtained a certificate or not cannot be used to disqualify him and that the fact that he attended the school is enough for him to contest.

its economic hardship because 70% of abuja resident are jobless driving big cars and living in big houses to make believe. Since government officials no longer see free money its very tight in Abuja. Lagos is a lot better cos everyone is doing one job or the other. You need yo visit Abuja

Obviously the reason she got slapped is because she decided to act like a spoilt brat in his home, throwing away his eggs after he asked her to use less. Obviously this female lacks home training and, above all, respect.

Let's be real, things are real in naija.
When you are a guest in someone's house, when you are asked to use less of something, THE APPROPRIATE RESPONSE is not to kukuma throw the whole thing away like a stupid fool. What if he wanted to use some? Did she buy it? Why throw his resources away to act stupid? Actions like that speak lowly of your upbringing and your ability to think before acting.

Make no mistake, the bitch had that slap coming.
Not because she wanted to eat 4 eggs,
Not because somebody is "broke",
Not because of poverty,
But because she clearly disrespected this man in his own home AND willfully destroyed/wasted his property over a simple cautionary request.

Her dressing is very indecent, they're kids there for God sake.....







Good msg tho.

Senate President Bukola Saraki yesterday said the Senate under him was most productive since 1999 when the country returned to civil rule.

Saraki in a statement to mark the third anniversary of the 8th Senate, issued from Saudi Arabia where he is on lesser hajj, said they have worked assiduously and diligently to meet demands of Nigerians.

“In this time, we have passed 213 Bills, cleared 138 petitions submitted by the public. We are happy to say that this Senate is the most productive since 1999. It has surpassed the 5th Senate which with 129 bills in four years had the highest number of bills, as against the 6th Senate with 72 bills, and 128 passed by the 7th Senate. The number of petitions we have successfully treated to the satisfaction of Nigerians, who filed them dwarfed the eight and six treated by the sixth and seventh Senate respectively.

Saraki in a statement by his media aide, Yusuph Olaniyonu said the Senate and the National Assembly will continue to be transparent, accountable and responsive even as the nation and its political office holders prepare for the 2019 elections.

My dad once mentioned his brother usually takes his only daughter (my cousin) for virginity test on her birthday so she'll remain a virgin till she gets married.


he (my dad) said he wanted to do same with my sisters but my mom was having none of it cos according to her, she trained, trusts and knows her daughters well



we all thought perhaps he would stop when my cousin crosses her teens but she celebrated her 21st birthday a month ago and 4 days ago i jokingly asked her on whatsapp if her dad still took her for the tests and she said yes!!


honestly at first i was shocked and thought my uncle crazy but on second thoughts, i believe what he's doing is a little right


seeing how wild my cous is (being an only girl and all) i'm 100% certain she'd have long lost her virginity if not for that


i think i will do that for my future daughter(s) cos this world is evil and boys are not to be trusted (girls too)



anyways what do you guys think............is it ideal and advisable or not?

I led a team to Sam Okwaraji's home~ His mother cried while appreciating us~ We lost a HERO and forgot him(Nigerian government forgot all my son sacrificed she said)~ I am pushing for his sick mother to be looked after and for Sam to be immortalised.

The Bayelsa State International Airport Project along Amassoma/Tombia Road in Southern Ijaw Local Government Area.

The Project which started in 2012 by HE Henry Seriake Dickson with a 3.5 kilometers runway which is said to be amongst the best in the country
Once completed, the airport will provide connections between the rapidly-growing state and the rest of Nigeria, and neighbouring regions.

Dickson said the airport project which was the brainchild of his administration has now been scheduled for completion by the second quarter of this year as the earlier date for completion (2019) is too late.

Simi Is In Trouble For Stealing From Me - Prof. Uwaifo

Days after her boyfriend, Adekunle Gold, called out Nollywood for using his songs without consent, legendary musician, Sir Victor Uwaifo, has said singer Simi is in trouble for "stealing" his intellectual property, 'Joromi'.

Professor Uwaifo's recognition soared when his song 'Joromi' became a hit in 1969. However, he says the song has now become a victim of intellectual property theft as Simi failed to give credit to him when she released her own version in 2017.

Uwaifo made this known in an interview with SaharaReporters at the Annual General Meeting of Copyright Society of Nigeria COSON, in Lagos.

The former commissioner for arts and culture in Edo State described copyright and Intellectual property theft as a very serious issue in Nigeria, saying it must be dealt with urgently as it is reducing the creativity of the new generation of musicians.

According to him, the process of making music has now significantly changed from what it used to be in his time, as “more mediocres” are now in the game.
